About the piece
Created in 1889 by Albert Guillaume Demarest, this oil painting captures a scene from Victor Hugo’s first novel, 'Han d’Islande'. The work depicts the moment Han of Iceland approaches Baron Wœthaün, rendered in a sophisticated palette of earthy grays and browns that emphasizes the moody, historical atmosphere of the narrative.
